This program will equip attorneys with a firm understanding of the latest legal developments surrounding DEI practices, and will share practical perspectives as attorneys are guided to cultivate work environments that are not only compliant but also inclusive for all.

Attorneys advising companies on labor and employment matters, in-house HR, DEI and non-profit organizations, or any individual who would like to learn more about DEI policy governance should attend this program.
